Of Coons and Scumbags 2015

When Sean Hannity has to tell you to dial back the coonery–you have officially earned the title Coon of the Year.

EYE deplore name calling, but sometimes you just have to call a Spade a Spade.   The Angry Black Rant composed a list of the Top 10 Coons of 2015.  In case you are wondering, yes, Coon(s) is a racial slur when non African Americans use it.

2015 was another coontastic year full of black folks doing their latest and greatest “Shuck & Jive” routine to remain in the good graces of mainstream conservative white America. I could go on and on for days about the kind of self loathing self centered and selfish motivations that go into making certain black men and women suspend all manners of pride and common logic while spewing the most embarrassing rhetoric for the sole purpose of ingratiating themselves with the kind of dying breed of thought propagated on Fox news, but I don’t have all day and since we have already said farewell to 2015 I’m going to cut to the chase and share my top 10 Coons of the last 365 day cycle…

Be sure and check out the Honorable Mentions.

Al.com's  Kyle Whitmire asks Who was Alabama's 20156 Scumbag of the Year?   The list was long, but the winner is:

The 2015 Scumbag of the Year is state Sen. Larry Stutts, a freshman lawmaker who a year ago was known only as "that guy who beat Roger Bedford."
Stutts, who is an OBGYN,attempted in his first Legislative session to repeal a law named after a patient who died in his care.
Rose's Law, which requires insurers to cover at least 48 hours of hospital care for new moms, had been passed after the death of Rose Church, a nurse from Haleyville who died after giving birth. Stutts was her doctor.
Stutts didn't tell any of his legislative colleagues about his part in the history of the law. Instead, he characterized it as Obamacare-like intrusion of government into healthcare, and solicited unwitting cosponsors to have it overturned.

Just like republicans to blame Obama for their failures. #BlameItOnTheBlackGuy

So many Coons and Scumbags, so little time.

RedEye's Re-Post Countdown to my 5th Blog-O-Versary #4

As the date of my Blog-O-Versary draws nearer I'm finding it harder and harder to decide which of content of my many post, or the tone of some of my comments actually got me kicked off the front pages of Left in Alabama, and eventually banned for life, but I think it's fair to say Hollering Anti Semitism Edited , posted on June 16, 2009 kinda got the ball rolling...

Redeye's Post Election Blogstroll  posted on November 4, 2009, 9 days before my front page privileges were suspended was probably one of the nails in the coffin....

 Pay attention all you candidates out there who pander to the right wing/conservative/moderate white crowd at the expense of your base,  Give us a reason to vote for you or we'll stay our Donkeys' at home.

It's like Deja Voodoo All Over Again. 

Remember, Support our Troops on Veterans Day and Everyday.

Eye report, you decide.

So much hypocrisy, so little time

Excuse me, but if you campaign on a platform form of ethics reform, shouldn't you at least have some ethics?

If you run on a platform of taking out the trash in Montgomery, shouldn't your own damn house be clean?

If you hold candidates and and elected officials to the highest ethical and moral standards shouldn't you hold yourself to those same standards?

If you uphold the principle that All men/women are created equal and are entitled to equal rights how do you justify discrimination?

Consider this a righteous Redeye Rant because I am sick and tired of all the double talk and back talk. The cats and other critters over at Left in Alabama seem shocked the Alabama gop used ethics/reform and anti corruption as a campaign slogan.

With Governor Riley's ethics reform proposals, the Republican Wrecking Crew is at it again and they are making yet another effort to Defund the Left by wrecking the Democratic Party by starving its constituent movements or shutting down the avenues by which its leaders receive contributions.
Now, we have the outlines of Governor Riley's ethics reform package. Two key proposals of Governor Bob Riley's ethics reform package are nothing more than a blatant attempt to defund the Left and the AEA, a key interest group within the Alabama Democratic Party. Those are the proposals to prohibit AEA from collecting dues by payroll deduction and the ban on so-called "double dipping," i.e., so as to prohibit a member of the Alabama Legislature from holding another government job including public school jobs. Both of these proposals have already passed in a Senate committee.

I tried to tell them this was about putting Dr. Joe Reed in his place, but did they listen? Noooo. According to them Joe Reed is the cause of all of Alabama's ills. He's the reason the Alabama legislature turned from blue to blood red. Never mind that Joe Reed wasn't the head of the Alabama Democratic Party and has never been the head of the Democratic Party. Never mind that Joe Reed has spent his life fighting for the rights of the disenfranchised. Never mind Joe Reed was the duly elected leader of the Alabama Education Association. Never mind Joe Reed was not afraid to speak truth to power. Never mind all of those things. Joe Reed had to be put in his place once and for all because it was time for some *ahem* new leadership.

By new leadership I suppose they mean someone who will be the opposite of Joe Reed. Well are you happy with your "new leadership" now? Are you happy the good guys have been replaced by the bad guys? Any teacher who voted for the Alabama gop will get what they deserve. They bit of their nose to spite their face. But don't worry, the Alabama Democratic Party, Dr. Joe Reed and Dr. Paul Hubbert will save you, because that's the kind of organization/people they are. They fight for what is right.

''This is about power,'' said Sen. Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro. ''This is about a group that has not had power for 136 years. These are mechanisms by which they will be able to maintain power in this august body.''
Voters on Nov. 2 broke more than a century of Democratic control of the Legislature. Republicans now run both the House and Senate.
Sen. Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, said the bill "rises to the top of petty politics.'' He said Riley pushed for the bill to punish AEA and ASEA because they didn't support his favorite candidate for governor, Bradley Byrne. Byrne lost the Republican primary to Gov.-elect Robert Bentley.

wargolem has one of the best explanations of the rank gop hypocrisy and what it means for teachers, strike that, liberals in Alabama.

As for me i personally know what i call it - Hypocrisy 101. This particular person said of his opponent during the election "Well all he did was go down there to montgomery and vote himself a raise." Guess what? All you did was go down there and the first thing you did was to screw over the teachers and they tend to have a long memory.

Redeye Rant over and out...for now.
